0520 Liverpool - Newcastle looks to be stuck somewhere between Parkside Junction and Astley, c.145L. All other eastbound trains have been cancelled or diverted.

There are conflicting signs as to whether or not the defective vehicle(s) have moved - nothing else seems to have, not eastbound, anyway. The 0520 Liverpool - Newcastle is now showing as having been terminated at Newton-le-Willows, and any reference to it having reached Parkside Junction deleted from tracking. Whether it actually reached there, I don't know.
One thing which has surprised me is that the 0715 Ellesmere Port to Leeds has been allowed to reach Newton-le-Willows, someone must have been confident that the blockage was about to be cleared.

The 9:28 Earlestown to Manchester Airport was held at Chester for about 10 minutes and it all changed to "Delayed" again like previous services. Now on the move again... the last one got cancelled at Warrington Bank Quay. Wonder if it will do the same? We shall see.

Nothing has traversed the problem area, eastbound, yet. The 0715 ex-Ellesmere Port may have been diverted after Newton-le-Willows, but it hasn't reappeared anywhere on route yet.

The 0746 Barrow - Manchester Airport looks to be on track (get it?) to be the first train through the affected area, it hasn't been diverted at Euxton Junction like the previous ex-Barrow services.

EDIT: No, the delayed 0821 Chester to Leeds service is going to beat it.

The poster says "1Z99". That is the standard code for a Rescue Train
